The inaugural class of City Council School graduated this weekend. The program from Action Tank, a local think tank, met virtually two to three times monthly since October.
Participant Natasha Mitchell plans to run for council and says the program has been life-changing for her. I don t think I could have went to a four year college and got out of that institution what I received from Action Tank City Council School, Mitchell said.
Fellow graduate Bill Frost is also running, and says he was amazed by the bipartisanship of the program. I think if you randomly picked nine people out of this class, and put them into city council spots right now, you d see a lot more collaboration than you ve ever seen in the last 20 years in the city, Frost said.

ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. (WMBF) â The Robeson County Sheriffâs Office had a busy 24 hours.
With the assistance of the U.S. Marshal Service, the sheriffâs office took 43 people into custody during its âOperation Groundhog Day: Shadow Seekerâ in Robeson County and neighboring counties.
Among those arrested were two people who have been charged in a 2018 murder.
Samantha Meszaro, 32, and Aaron Locklear, 34, are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Allen Fields.
4 Corners interview with Tarrio adds, other than the journalistic ‘clout’ of an exclusive interview.
Journalist Natasha Mitchell pointed out that sitting Tarrio down automatically renders him a serious, normal subject with views worth receiving the fact he’s wearing a backwards cap and sunnies during the chat isn’t the catch-all
4 Corners seems to think it is.
It’s also questionable why
4 Corners felt it necessary to fly to the US to cover the Capitol riots, given the pandemic, that it has been widely covered and interrogated elsewhere, and that there’s plenty to report on in terms of Australia’s own role in the rise of fascism in America.
